Light is a form of energy.

Light energy can be used to initiate chemical reactions.

For instance light can be used to break chemical bonds homolytically, that is to say break the chemical bonds in a molecule to form free radicals.

Free radicals are more reactive than the molecules from which they have formed because they possess more energy.

These free radicals can then interact to produce new molecules, new products.
